lol sam has veered into openly lying to the court after the court found he committed perjuryquote:SBF: There are enough assets. It's not because of a rise in the price of crypto, that hasn't hurt, there just was enough. As Sunil said, the emotional pain. Why haven't they been paid back? There was, to be fair, a liquidity crisis. That was in part my doing that's one way to play sentencing, sure
